Skimming The Earth in a Wingsuit

[@WonderWorldYTC]

★★★ *FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE VIDEO / FACT UPDATES* ★★★ *1) How does the camera work looking back at him? I don’t see it attached* - The name of the camera he used was the GoPro Fusion 360 with a selfie stick. which removes the stick or makes it invisible.

[@Allan_aka_RocKITEman]

The camera has two lenses looking in opposite directions, and the images caught by the lenses overlap where the camera's handle is located. That overlap {digitally removes} the image of the handle.

[@avatarlaranlatyor1690]

Great video really. thank you for sharing

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

He oughta take it a little easy. He may be the best bush pilot this side of Mos Eisley, but those little wingsuits are dangerous. Keep it up, one day...Whamo...he could end up a dark spot on the downside of a canyon wall.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

It is only a matter of time before one of these guys successfully lands on water/without a parachute.

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 Ummm, how can it be done? How can a wingsuit pilot slow his speed down enough to not die or get seriously effed up?

[@kdpwt]

This is absolutely insane. The fact that this guy is 27 and has 1200 wingsuit flights almost blows my mind. To put it into perspective, if he did one jump a week it would take him 23 years. Not to mention the risk factor I do some stuff that people might consider dangerous, but this is on another level. My respect

Imagine being stuck in a small town on the top of the mountain full of zombies and getting away from that situation with the wing suit on jumping off the moutain. What an amazing feeling it would be knowing you escaped danger flying off the mountain like this.

I'm at 52 skydives right now. My goal is to eventually work my way up to Wingsuit BASE, but I don't think I'll ever do proximity flying. The margin for error is just to slim. No matter how well trained/prepared you are, mother nature has a mind of her own. All it takes is a small gust at the wrong time to send you in. Props to that guy though, he's living the dream.

[@20teamplayer]

@@justdev8965 Which category does this fall into LoL. If we were never made to fly are we trolling her?

[@devinmichaelroberts9954]

as far as I understand it thats why they fly pretty high up still.. the videos always make it look like they are touching the terrain but they arent they are sometimes even higher than 100ft.. a gust of wind would send them maybe 80 feet down tops id imagine and they could probably...... wait what am i even talking about??? Those fuckers die all the time. .... Nevermind!

He kept flying and flying and flying.... so did the cameraman, give him some applause too😂

[@mariusbijan1336]

There is no cameraman. Someone just trow the camera really hard after the guy.

[@AxtonXtreme]

Keeping all the jokes aside, the cameraman was at a relatively higher elevation throughout the course of that glide.

[@MJ-zo5gb]

I don’t think you could open the chute that close to the ground for most of the flight, so he was committed to the route. I Could be wrong; Maybe at certain points he could’ve pulled up enough to open the chute….

...right with you bro! I was in the attic throwing rope. Suitcases, old curtains and scrap cloth, sewing machine, French language Primer, then I paused to catch my breath....and from the kitchen (where l my phone) ...I caught the last part of the sentence , he says, ì would say don't try this at home... and all a sudden a rung on the ladder breaks - so I don't hear further. And don't really care, because I'm sure I've broken something. And ì admit to crying some when I didn't feel like my so called loved ones weren't paying enough attention. In the end I decided attention was what I really wanted, and I seemed to be in good shape where that's concerned. There's a moral here, somewhere, wingman.... come see me sometime and we can talk it out over beer with the guys.

I watched a wingsuit video just like this a while back, and after the video there was a “dedicated to all those who’ve died from wingsuit accidents” and the long list of names that followed, I can only compare to the end cast credit of a Hollywood movie! 😳 😯😱... don’t be deceived by the thrill of this video, these guys die like flies of which you hear nothing about!

[@Elhardt]

If it's the same one I saw, they listed 25 people who died in just that one year doing this. Quite sobering.

[@ianrobinson8974]

Yeh, I know the story. In the 1960's I gave away parachuting after a whole 3 jumps as the #2 in the world had to land on his reserve and the #1 female diver in Australia died after falling into the sea. That was enough for me to feel the risk factor was just too big!

[@jsquire5pa]

@@ianrobinson8974 ordinary parachuting is perfectly safe ... this is a totally different kettle of fish

[@thechumpsbeendumped.7797]

I love watching these amazing flights and wonder if I’d have the balls to do it, if I were younger and had the finances to afford to do it. The death rate is approx 0.2%, that may not sound high to some but if you compare it to other sports it’s very high. Its a sport that on average the expiry rate is 1/500 flights. The only sport that I think comes close would be F1 in the 50’s and 60’s.

[@topgeardel]

They probably die like flies b/c they think they have to push the "envelope" of proximity to terrain. The wingsuit proves people can fly at least to a certain altitude. It's not the art itself at fault.

[@kennethfharkin]

I am very sorry for your family. People need to wake up that this is an adrenaline addiction and stop glorifying this nonsense.

[@WhiteDragon689]

@@kennethfharkin If it could be done safely, I would not mind but that young man was only 32! He died recklessly doing this and no one could tell him otherwise. It is truly an addiction that will kill eventually. They all die tragically this way. There are few old wingsuit people alive unless they quit cold turkey and live.

[@kennethfharkin]

@@WhiteDragon689 also, it is the adrenaline rush of being in proximity to the ground which causes the high they get. In order to get that same high they must push it closer and closer to the ground, cliff face, etc. Eventually they fail to make a single microsecond decision and die from it. The lack of safety is exactly what drives the addiction. Watch the special I linked.

[@R0adkillRacc00n]

That looks like a lot of fun. Just getting to see a mountain from the perspective of flying down it is a pretty cool trip.

High Risk, High Reward. What he's doing is absolutely terrifying. It's easy for us to label him as some sort of stupid person but he's not doing it just to draw attention. He's doing it because he loves the feeling that comes with it. Sure, certain death is the price, but that is the price he is willing to pay to look at some of the world's breathtaking scenery and feel the breathtaking feeling of what it feels like to have wings and fly.

Yup, its called pitching, or flairing, they usually do it right before pulling the chute to slow down thier horizontal speed.

HOW TO BE A SUCCESSFUL WING SUIT GLIDER PILOT IN MY BEST OPINION: If you are going to do this everything has to be just right. First make sure to wear your best clean underwear. Just in case you are brought to a hospital. Next is the suit. Make sure it is the correct model for your weight and gender. Eat lite that morning. Heavy food will affect your glide. Next, pack your chute yourself. Make sure to use the correct tallow on the chute cords so friction is reduced. Friction builds heat. Heat can melt the cord ends from the canopy. Make sure every chord is attached properly to the canopy. The chute itself should be properly sewn. The seams must run along the bias. Of course, all these things must be securely affixed to the pack. The pack straps must be strong but not made of metal. Knitted Nylon straps with plastic buckles are best. Make sure all 32 buckles are fastened before you jump. Then we must consider the wing suit. Do not make this yourself. Get a proper wing suit from a professional maker that uses their product themselves. Buy the optional wrist altimeter and ankle airspeed indicator. If you jump in winter you may want a heated pitot model. Also, deicing equipment might be considered for your wing leading edges. In fact, buy a second hand wing suit if you can because that way it has been tested. However, do not buy a used wing suit from a fat man or a fat woman because they may have overstressed it during their jumps. The suit should be crisp and starched to help support your arms. Most jumpers do not flap their arms but flapping is permissible in an emergency or to extend your flight. I am getting ahead of myself because there is much more prep needed before you jump. Wear gliding boots. If you do not know about gliding boots then you must not be in this sport. Do not use 'cheap' gliding boots. Buy the most expensive pair that you can afford. Now make sure your gliding wing suit has the aerodynamic lifting vanes from the collar to the wing edges. 12 vanes are preferred but more might be appropriate. Smear fresh butter inside each vane on every surface of each cavity. Use your fingers to avoid missing any spots, also to avoid snags. Now check the nylon rods. Each rod must be completely embedded into it's channel and stiched up tight! Count to be sure that you have 13 rods in each wing. 26 rods in total. If you weigh more than 183 pounds add 2 extra rods to each wing. That is, have a professional add them. Make sure that all stitching is adequate and not fraid. Your pants, shirt and socks should be made of fine silk. Silk slides through the air best. Silk is slick. Find a cliff base at least 1,000 meters in height. Make sure that the drop off has sides of rock or soil that is well tucked back, not less than 85 degrees to the launch point. Have someone you trust help you dress and suit up. Once you are dressed make sure to use the facilities before donning your gliding suit. Unlike a bird you will not be able to poop while flying. Now put on your suit and check and recheck every buckel. Adjust your straps tight but not so tight as to hinder your arms. Wave your arms up and down creating claps above your head to test your free arm movement. Put on your gliding gloves after lacing up your gliding boots. Wax your face with cannuba wax. Use the good kind from AutoZone. Hopefully you were well groomed before suiting up. Hopefully you remembered to use a deodorant. Now put on your helmet and make sure your goggles are clean. Now walk to the jump spot. Someone can begin filming now. It is best to walk little baby steps up to the edge. Control your fear. The worse thing you can imagine seldom happens, so don't think about that. Once you jump build up velocity until you reach the best flying speed. It is important to maintain your flying speed lest the ground arise and smite thee! Check that your rip chord is where it is supposed to be. They are called rip chords because if they fail you will "Rest In Peace". The rip chord handle should be signal orange for easy spotting during flight. Once you jump go head-first, straight down. Do NOT swan dive. The initial acceleration will be mind boggling. Terminal velocity will come quickly and you will soon be going well over 247 miles per hour. Now (this is most important) you must swoop. Swoop up hard as you can! Yes, the 'G' force will seem incredible but you must swoop up asap. Now extend your wings. Concentrate first on straight and level flight. Watch your wrist altimeter to make sure you do not fly below 300 feet above ground level. Use your ankle supported airspeed pitot system to maintain flying speed. Do not slow below 100 mph or equivalent kph. If you get too slow or too low you must open your chute without hesitation. Once your airspeed and altitude bleed down swoop up into a climb. Just before you stall pull your rip chord. Now look for a suitable landing area. Pick a spot near a concession area so you might refresh yourself before your crew arrives to take you home. If you are gentle with your suit and equipment you might easily get 43 jumps out of it minus however many jumps were made by others in it before you acquired it. Do not exceed 43 jumps total or the suit may fail. It will prove fatal if the suit fails. Also, use fresh underwear for each successful jump. For unsuccessful jumps it will not matter.
